"Could You Repeat That Flop For Me, Please?"

[user10554]

The small blind raises to 3,600, and Hal Lubarsky calls from the big blind. As we've mentioned before, Lubarsky is legally blind, and only able to play with an assistant who reads the cards and describes the betting for him, whispering into his ear.

The flop comes {J-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades}, the small blind bets 9,600, and Lubarsky calls. The turn card is the {Q-Diamonds}, the small blind bets 15,000, Lubarsky moves all in for 35,900, and the small blind calls with {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} for two pair, jacks and fours, with an ace kicker. But Lubarsky shows {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for quad fours.

The meaningless river card is the {3-Clubs}, and Lubarsky's quads take the pot, increasing his stack to about 106,000.
